Nuno ready for VAR after Wolves penalty claim
Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is ready for video assistant referee technology to be used in the Premier League after his side were denied a first-half penalty in the defeat at Brighton.
The Portuguese was unhappy with referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to allow play to continue when Matt Doherty’s powerful drive struck the arm of Albion winger Jose Izquierdo.
“I know it’s hard, the job of the referee, but I think everybody saw it was a clear handball,” said Nuno.
“He didn’t see it, he didn’t give it and sometimes that is football.
“It is something (VAR) that there’s no doubt it will come head coach Nuno said of VAR, which is being trialled in the top flight this season. “I just hope that it comes better than is going around in football.
“When it comes to the Premier League, they must be really sure but if it represents the truth of the game, (it is) welcome.
“Sometimes the referee sees things and gives them, sometimes they don’t see it.
“You have to understand, respect and hope they improve as much as you want to improve.”
